Question

To demonstrate your understanding how network packets are transmitted in the cloud, you will useMininet, a popular open-source network simulator that can be used together with Wireshark. This demonstration will be part of your technical report. Follow the steps in thisSimulating a Network Using Mininet and Analyzing Packets Using Wireshark Guide.

Please be sure to review theAWS Academy Learner Labs Student Guide.

During the lab, you will provision anEC2 instancein AWS using a preconfiguredAWS Machine Image (AMI)and use the Mininet simulator in the EC2 instance to create two hosts. You will then use Wireshark to capture the packet exchanges.

You will prepare a lab report as per the lab guide and attach it to your final technical report.

Simulating a Network Using Mininet and Analyzing Packets Using Wireshark Guide
Introduction
Mininet requires a Linux operating system to be installed. If you are using Windows, you can run Linux in a virtual computer.
Open a terminal and enter the following commands to install Mininet:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mininet
Creating a network topology:
 To begin, open a terminal and enter the following command:
sudo mn --topo [topology] --controller [controller]
[topology] should be replaced with the desired topology (e.g., single, linear, tree) and [controller] with the chosen controller (e.g. ovs, remote, none).
Once the network has been established, use the pingall command to test connection between hosts.
Capturing packets with Wireshark:
 Launch Wireshark and choose the interface from which you want to capture packets. Select lo if you are running Wireshark on the same system as Mininet (loopback).
Begin the packet capture and conduct network activities (e.g. pinging between hosts).
Stop the capture and examine the collected packets.
Packet analysis:
Filter packets using Wireshark's filter function depending on different criteria (e.g., protocol, source/destination IP address).
To study packet statistics, use Wireshark's statistics tool (e.g. round-trip time, packet loss).
Step -1 Launch Instance
· Navigate to the EC2 dashboard after logging into your AWS interface.
· To begin the instance launch wizard, click the "Launch Instance" button.
